Scriptures

New American Standard Bible (NASB)

Romans 5
¹⁷ For if by the transgression of the one, death reigned through the one, much more those who receive the abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness will reign in life through the One, Jesus Christ.
¹⁸ So then as through one transgression there resulted condemnation to all men, even so through one act of righteousness there resulted justification of life to all men.
¹⁹ For as through the one man’s disobedience the many were made sinners, even so through the obedience of the One the many will be made righteous.
²⁰ The Law came in so that the transgression would increase; but where sin increased, grace abounded all the more,
²¹ so that, as sin reigned in death, even so grace would reign through righteousness to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Romans 6
¹ What shall we say then? Are we to continue in sin so that grace may increase?
² May it never be! How shall we who died to sin still live in it?
³ Or do you not know that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus have been baptized into His death?
⁴ Therefore we have been buried with Him through baptism into death, so that as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so we too might walk in newness of life.
⁵ For if we have become united with Him in the likeness of His death, certainly we shall also be in the likeness of His resurrection,
⁶ knowing this, that our old self was crucified with Him, in order that our body of sin might be done away with, so that we would no longer be slaves to sin;
